Henrikh Mkhitaryan capped his impressive start to the new season by equaling a Premier League record that had stood for 23 years.

The Armenia international endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford following his £30million arrival from Borussia Dortmund last summer but has now emerged as a key component of Jose Mourinho’s rapidly improving side.

Mkhitaryan had already recorded four assists during the course of United’s 4-0 victories over West Ham and Swansea and provided another for Marcus Rashford as Mourinho’s men swept aside Leicester 2-0 on Saturday.
